+Network Interfaces
+==================
+
+Configured interfaces on a VyOS system can be displayed using the
+`show interfaces` command.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces

+A specific interface can be shown using the `show interfaces <type> <name>`
+command.

+Different network interfaces provide type-specific configuration. Ethernet
+interfaces, for example, allow the configuration of speed and duplex.
+
+Many services, such as network routing, firewall, and traffic policy also
+maintain interface-specific configuration. These will be covered in their
+respective sections.
